Ten Republican senators announced plans Sunday to release an approximately $600 billion covid relief package that could serve as a bipartisan alternative to President Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan, and requested a meeting with the president to discuss it.

The senators, led by Susan Collins (R-Maine), said they would release additional details of the package on Monday. In a letter to Biden they said they were offering their proposal in recognition of the president’s “calls for unity.”

“We want to work in good faith with you and your administration to meet the health, economic and societal challenges of the covid crisis,” they wrote.

Along with Collins and Romney, the letter was signed by Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Rob Portman of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Todd Young of Indiana, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Mike Rounds of South Dakota.

It was the REPUBLICAN GA SOS, Gov, Lt Gov and AG that sanctified the fraud.

My bet, it ain’t going to happen, and if it does, there will be several other voices there to answer any question they may ask. Biden will need a teleprompter and an ear piece, to give him the answers, to the questions he has to respond to. And the show goes on.

I believe one can use budget reconciliation to avoid filibuster once a year. Once this budget reconciliation is used, next year’s budget can’t use budget reconciliation. This depends if the Democrats want to risk a government shutdown around November 2021.

Then they won't risk it. The "stimulus" is just a fraction of the massive financial changes at the core of their true agenda.

Just a show to make it look like theyre “trying” to fight for whats right so they can get reelected. But its all sho we. They want what the left wants.

Exactly my thought! The $1400 is the only problem they have with it.
